This summer we’ll once again be helping you find the easiest ways to Do It In Public on the festival circuit, ditching the car and taking public transport instead for the ultimate festival experience. And even if you’re not going to be able to make it to the festival, at least you can still enjoy the music on your way to (sigh) work. And July 18 can only mean one thing… Latitude Festival…

The festivalWe’re pretty excited about this weekend, and not just because of the promise of more great weather. It’s Latitude Festival and Global Cool are packing up our things, pulling out our denim cutoffs and heading down to Suffolk to join in the festivities. The line up is pretty sweet too including Alt J, The Maccabees and Foals, and we’ll be making sure to have a boogie in between ciders.

The route will be sign posted, with mechanics, cycle guides, emergency response, and M&S refreshments every step of the way. Cyclists’ baggage will be transported separately and cyclists will have their bikes securely stored at the festival on arrival.

During the ride there will be frequent rest stops for participants to have a break with full facilities, along with food and refreshments courtesy of M&S. Upon arrival at the festival cyclists will be greeted by a welcome team and will receive a Guest upgrade to their ticket, allowing them to enjoy access to Guest campsite and facilities to make the weekend even more special!
